- Departing without a re-entry permit permanently voids single-entry Non-O/Non-B visas.
- Cost: 1,000 THB for Single Re-Entry / 3,800 THB for Multiple Re-Entry.
- Available 24/7 before boarding at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports.
Holders of single-entry long-term visas—including Retirement Visas (Non-O), Business Visas (Non-B), and Education Visas (ED)—must obtain a Re-Entry Permit prior to departing Thailand.
Leaving the Kingdom without an active re-entry permit instantly and irreversibly cancels your visa extension, requiring you to restart the entire application process from scratch.
*(Note: Multi-entry visas like the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and 10-Year LTR Visa feature built-in multiple entries and do NOT require re-entry permits).*
Single vs Multiple Re-Entry Permits:
- Single Re-Entry Permit (1,000 THB): Valid for one departure and return during your current visa extension period.
- Multiple Re-Entry Permit (3,800 THB): Valid for unlimited departures and re-entries until your current visa extension expires.
Where to Obtain Your Re-Entry Permit:
- Provincial Immigration Offices: Recommended in advance during regular business hours using Form TM.8.
- Airport Re-Entry Desks: Available 24/7 at Suvarnabhumi Airport (after international security check in Concourse D) and Don Mueang Airport. Allow an extra 45 minutes before flight boarding.
Ensure your international travel does not endanger your legal residency by reviewing our Retirement Visa Support or upgrading to a multiple-entry DTV Visa.
